It is generally regarded that the stone mound tombs in the early Baekche period were related with the founder group of Baekche kingdom. So far 39 stone mound tombs on 28 places were constructed. But most of these tombs are located in the north of Han river. The stone mound tombs in Yatab-Dong were located in the northwest hillside of Maejibong mountain. The tomb site was reported on 1989 and excavated from Aug. 1. to Oct. 12. 1990. Although total number of the tombs are nine, eight tombs were made a survey on the site during the excavation. Yatab-Dong' stone mound tombs were made by piled up square stones on the ground. The tombs were oval in shape and south-north direction on long axis. The length of the tombs is about 470~570cm on long axis and 120~157cm on short axis. The specific characteristics of the tombs were structure of burial grave and stationing of big stone on central area of the tombs. Burial grave were rectangle on shape and grave wall of the tombs were made by piled up a square stone. The grave size of No. 2 is about 120×50×20cm and No. 6 is just 83×46×37cm. So the graves of the Yatab-Dong' stone mound tombs are relatively small on size. The chronology of the Yatab-Dong' stone mound tombs is related with stone mound tombs of Seokchon-Dong in Seoul and Shinwon-Ri in Yangpyung. Regarding the fact that the No. 5 stone mound tomb of Seokchon-Dong was constructed around second to third century A.D. and the stone mound tomb of Shinwon-Ri was constructed about late third century to early fourth century A.D., the tombs of Yatab-Dong would be constructed around late third century A.D.
